Checking the tyre pressure

Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.
Please refer to the tyre for the necessary in-

flation pressure (recommendation: 1 bar).

ADVICE

1 PSI = 0.07 bar.

The  tyre  pressure  can  be  checked  and  the  tyre

inflated using a commercially available foot pump.

Mounting the grass catcher

Lawn  tractors  are  supplied  with  a  grass  catcher.

Please  note  that  the  illustrations  may  differ  so-

mewhat from the original.

Hooking in the fill-level sensor of the grass

catcher

The fill-level sensor uses a horn to signal when the

grass catcher must be emptied. The grass catcher

must be removed in order for the fill-level sensor

to be fitted.
The fill-level sensor (9a) must be pushed into the

opening  in  the  rear  wall.  Make  sure  the  fill-level

sensor  is  in  the  correct  position.  Push  it  into  the

opening straight and without excessive force, until

you can feel it engage.

Hooking in the grass catcher

1. Hold the grass catcher with one hand on the

catcher handle (10b) and your other hand on

the holding opening at the back (10b).

2. Place  the  grass  catcher  symmetrically  onto

the guide (10c).

3. Use your other hand to tip the grass catcher

slightly  forward  (11)  so  the  front  part  of  the

grass catcher engages.

4. Now  swivel  the  grass  catcher  back  down

(12a).

5. Check the grass catcher is correctly seated.

Checking the safety devices

Check  the  safety  devices  each  time  before  the

lawn tractor is started.

WARNING!
Danger when checking the safety de-

vices!

The  safety  devices  are  only  allowed  to

be  checked  from  the  driver's  seat,  and

when no other persons or animals are in

the vicinity!

Carry  out  all  checks  on  level  ground  so  that  the

lawn tractor cannot roll away inadvertently.

Checking the brake contact switch

The brake contact switch ensures that the engine

cannot be started if the brake is not applied.
1. The engine is off.
2. Sit on the operator's seat.
3. Release  the  parking  brake  by  pressing  the

brake pedal (4a).

4. Attempt to start the engine (ignition key in po-

2. Sit on the operator's seat.
3. Press  the  brake  pedal  (4a)  and  the  parking

brake (4b).

4. Switch on the mower mechanism (

see "Mäh-

werkbedienung"

5. Attempt to start the engine (ignition key in po-

sition III).

CAUTION!

The engine is not allowed to start!

Checking the seat contact switch

The  seat  contact  switch  ensures  that  the  engine

switches  off  as  soon  as  there  is  no-one  on  the

operator's  seat  when  the  mower  mechanism  is

switched on.
